Product Description
"The marvelous manner in which the rich culture and history of Indians living in the rugged mountains of New Mexico is presented in this DVD is truly laudable. Filmed largely in color by professional lens men under the watchful eyes of skilled producers, these films bring to life a long history of the region in the most thrilling manner. Adding to the excitement of outdoor nighttime rodeos is a fascinating clip about the Santa Cruz Trail, which was instrumental in bringing many settlers to the area. On the other hand the documentary on the Pueblos and Navajo Indians is both insightful and thought provoking, providing a rare insight into the history and culture of native Indian Tribes, who are seldom in the news or the limelight. In between, you are treated to an absorbing travelogue of the enchanting southwest, with its majestic and rugged mountain peaks chiseled into fabulous shapes by the forces of nature, its ever-changing wind blown landscape and stately desert vegetation. You also see the history of the land etched in the historic monuments that dot the landscape - churches, forts and abandoned native villages. Thrilling, absorbing and steeped in historical detail and facts, this DVD is one of its kind, and is certain to enlighten any history buff or student who examines its invaluable contents."

Stunning Vintage Indian Footage. May 22, 2006
The best thing about this DVD is the footage of Native Americans' around teh turn of the century living in the southwest and trying to keep their culture alive. So much of what we see in the media about Native Americans is such a stereotype taht it is enthralling to see them as real people. The rest of the clips are beautiful - with lots of footage of the beautiful vistas in the southwest. A great DVD.
